The inventive concept refers to a system, a method, and a computer program for providing training for pain improvement. According to an exemplary embodiment, a training providing method for pain improvement includes requesting, by a computer, a temperature providing device to provide a first temperature to a first body point, requesting, by the computer, the temperature providing device to provide a second temperature to a second body point, requesting a user to select a temperature matched with a specific condition among the first temperature and the second temperature, and calculating a correct answer rate after performing a trial of distinguishing between the first temperature and the second temperature by a predetermined number.

The present disclosure comprises a pre and post anesthetic cooling apparatus, system, and method for using thereof. In an embodiment, an anesthetic cooling device comprises a wand comprising a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, a thermoelectric module disposed within the wand having a cold side and a hot side, a TEM heat exchanger disposed within wand and connected to the hot side of the thermoelectric module, wherein a coolant circulates into the TEM heat exchanger through a wand inlet and out of the TEM heat exchanger through a wand outlet, a tip located at the distal end of the wand and connected to the TEM heat exchanger through a thermal conductor; wherein thermal energy is transferred from the tip to the coolant via the thermal conductor and the TEM heat exchanger.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for visualizing a target anatomy of a patient in preparation of a medical procedure. The method can include providing a visualization device (400) that probes the target anatomy and provides a display to the operator. The method can include positioning the visualization device at a location near the target anatomy. The method can further include directing a medical instrument towards a target trajectory displayed on the visualization device. The visualization device can have a body that defines two surface areas. The visualization device can include transducers along one surface area of the device to capture the target anatomy. A user interface (420) can be disposed on another surface area of the device. The display can include parallax for adjusting the visualization.

A heat generator comprises a heat-generating composition that generates heat upon contact with air, a storage bag that can store the heat-generating composition in a storage part inside thereof, and an adhesive layer provided on one surface of the storage bag. The storage bag has, in plan view, an outer shape having a constricted part recessed inward between two convexly protruding first apex and second apex; and the storage bag is provided with a dividing part that divides the storage part and allows the storage bag to be folded between the first apex and the second apex.

An economical dual modality system is useful in a system for independent delivery of two distinct energy modalities to a mammalian body and includes a thermal subsystem. The thermal subsystem includes a thermal source affixed to flexible web having an adhesive surface and at least one structure arranged and configured to couple the thermal subsystem to a chassis comprising a durable energy subsystem.

Embodiments include methods and systems for treating joint pain associated with a nerve. A needle of a cryogenic system may be inserted beneath a skin surface. The needle may include an electrically conducting structure at least partially surrounded by an electrical insulator for conducting electrical energy. The needle may include an outer lumen and an inner lumen extending distally within the outer lumen, the inner lumen include a distal opening open to the outer lumen. The needle may be positioned at a desired location in proximity to the nerve, and a cooling therapy including cooling cycles and thawing periods may be performed to cool tissue at the desired location. The cooling therapy may sufficiently reduce the joint pain.

Embodiments include methods and systems for treating back pain associated with a nerve. A needle of a cryogenic system may be inserted beneath a skin surface. The needle may include an electrically conducting structure at least partially surrounded by an electrical insulator for conducting electrical energy. The needle may include an outer lumen and an inner lumen extending distally within the outer lumen, the inner lumen include a distal opening open to the outer lumen. The needle may be positioned at a desired location in proximity to the nerve, and a cooling therapy including cooling cycles and thawing periods may be performed to cool tissue at the desired location. The cooling therapy may sufficiently reduce the back pain.

A device for cooling a living tissue is disclosed. The cooling device solves severe patient's waiting and clinic work load due to time-consuming anesthesia required by conventional therapies. The cooling device also significantly reduces psychological burden and pain of the patient for ocular anesthesia. The cooling device includes a cooling unit configured to cool a target area and a heat dissipating unit configured to dissipate heat from the cooling unit. The heat dissipating unit is also configured to regulate internal air flow to increase heat dissipating efficiency.

A wearable therapy system comprises a therapy pack, a therapy pack holder including a body and a first fastener system, the body being configured to removably receive the therapy pack, and a therapy garment configured to be worn by a user and comprising at least one attachment area including a second fastener system. The therapy pack holder is removably attachable to the attachment area in a plurality of positions with the first fastener system engaging the second fastener system to secure the therapy pack in relation to the therapy garment.

Systems and methods provide air or gas-based temperature-controlled medical devices. The systems and methods may be applied to provide therapy to a patient suffering orthopedic or other injuries. Air or other gas is temperature-controlled and adjusted to meet a patient's physical needs and delivered the patient therapy site through a temperature regulated system including a therapeutic orthopedic wrap. Feedback mechanisms allow the caregiver or the patient to adjust the temperature of the gas. Other fluids may also be used. The systems and methods permit use of electrotherapy for enhanced therapy and injury recovery.
